Coaches Comments
Head Coach Ryan Clark, after their last 2025-2026 season game, said - "We did a lot of good things defensively, couple periods where we let them get going from three. Which ultimately hurt us too much. Offensively it wasn't our night, but it wasn't due to a lack of effort. Proud of the way our girls continued to battle all game long. We will learn, grow, and be better because of it."
